SDSS J113300.56+211702.7 - galaxy with odd color

• by Dolorous_Edd

  This thing has caught my eye during SDSS map inspection

  Can somebody explain why it has such odd color 😕 ( and apparently strong OIII emission )

  Hi Ivan,

  Nice #purple object 😃
  Could it be a #voorwerp?

  Nah, I don't think so

  I think it is what locals call a purple pea galaxy

  Here is another one
